A CYLINDRICAL BARIUM FLUORIDE FILM ELECTRIC HYGROMETER ELEMENT FOR AIRCRAFT CLOUD PHYSICS STUDIES,
Abstract
Since characteristics of the barium fluoride film electric hygrometer element, namely: (1) rapid response to changes in humidity; (2) high sensitivity at high humidities; (3) ability to indicate saturation without apparent deleterious effect on the element; and (4) small hysteresis effect, indicated that the element might have potential as an experimental tool for humidity measurements in cloud physics studies, adaptation of the element for aircraft cloud physics studies was undertaken. The element was fabricated in a cylindrical shape for use in an axial flow vortex probe. The performance characteristics of the cylindrical element were similar to those of the flat elements. A portion of a chart record for a pass through three clouds is included. (Author)
